Faculty Director Gary Marchant is set to speak about artificial intelligence (AI) at the Phoenix Chapter Meeting for Singularity University on January 22, 2019. The meeting will explore the recent advances in AI and discuss why this technology is likely the most important and fundamental technological revolution in human history.
AI’s recent application surge is due to the technological leap forward that provides for a more powerful form of the technology. These advances in AI come with great benefits and risks. Advancements in AI will bring along potentially beneficial changes to personal assistants, healthcare, autonomous vehicles, industrial processes and human companions. But there are risks as well. Biased algorithms, malfunctions resulting in human injury, unemployment, military destabilization, and existential risks are all associated with new advancements in AI.
Marchant will provided a background on the key technological advances that made AI what it is today, discuss important benefits of modern AI technology in public and private use, and assess some of the major risks associated with AI. Register to attend here
